Kabali Poster NOT Copied From Madaari; Here’s Why!

Present at a mall in Mumbai for the promotion of the film, Irrfan, asked about the similarity between the films’ posters, said: “Even I didn’t know that. We are small filmmakers, I saw that Rajinikanthji’s film stole the poster of our film. You see his film’s poster and see our film’s poster. No big deal about it. Watch his film and watch our film, too.”

Both the posters see the faces of the lead actors, Irrfan Khan and Rajinikanth, with numerous buildings and skyscrapers standing horizontally on their faces.

Though the Madaari poster is mentioned as its official poster, loyal fans of Rajinikanth have clarified, on a website talking about the comparison, that the Kabali poster in question is a fan-made one and not the official poster.

There are numerous posters of Kabali doing the rounds on social media. Rajiniknath had shared two posters on his Twitter account in September last year, when the shooting had begun.

But among the recent ones, the one with Rajiniknath, Radhika Apte and ‘China actor’ Wilson Choa, one in which he is staring at a gun in his hand, one where he is sitting on a sofa and one showing him with sunglasses in side profile, have been the popular ones.

Madaari and Kabali are slated to release on July 15.
